Ok so my first issue is the installation media |
| 2 |
and a lack of tools for GPT (GUID Partition Table). |

On the minimal.iso [1] I see in sbin: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
cfdisk fdisk mac-fdisk pmac-fdisk sfdisk |
| 8 |
|

Perhaps another installation media that makes |
| 10 |
setting up the identical (raid) drives that |
| 11 |
have the "4K block issue". |

Seagate Disk Model=ST32000542AS |

I have previously tried gymnastics |
| 15 |
using fdisk (no thanks, not this time). sfdisk |
| 16 |
tells you not to use it, so maybe use |
| 17 |
gparted? or gpt-fdisk [2]. I do not |
| 18 |
have confidence in cfdisk trickery. |
| 19 |
Is there any gentoo installation media that |
| 20 |
has a robust partitioning tool to simplify |
| 21 |
the "4k block" (GPT) issue? Maybe I missed it |
| 22 |
on the minimal CD? |
